My first step is to think about the colour combination I want to use and from which direction my light source is coming. I coloured my image with the light source coming from the right hand side.

TIP

I always start colouring the face and hair first. I just love using the same Skin Copic Combination for all the images I colour.

TIP

I always colour the dress first with my lightest colour to make it easier for the colours to blend. From there I start with my darkest colour and work down to my lightest colour. This is my personal preference I know that other people like to work from light to dark. All up to what you feel comfortable with.

I coloured the leaves with my favourite Green Copic Combination. I just love the Green Combination. The colours blend so nicely.

LAST TIP OF THE DAYI just have to make mention of the Colourless Blender Marker. I called it my Do Not Worry I Will Fix It Marker. If whenever you colour over the lines just use the Colourless Blender. With some colours you do need to take some time to get it lighter and of course I am talking about our beautiful Red colours.
